Who do I look like?

Then they played the trump card.

Jimi Hendrix, with a 45% similarity to me.

Let's see... Do I have an Afro? Er, nope.
Do I have a moustache? Er, nope.
Am I black? Er, what the hell!?

So, there you have it. Look at the pictures of me on this site and remember, I'm 45% similar to Jimi Hendrix. Riiight.

Taking DNA seriously?

I have been contacted by a representative of "DNAWeekly" who clearly missed the sarcasm and suggested that I provide a link to their blog article that compares three different genealogy services. Prices are all in dollars, so what it'll be on this side of the Atlantic is likely... an exchange rate from Venutian Lobits.
Anyway, here's the link if you actually want to ship your DNA to the US where it'll be stored forever: https://www.dnaweekly.com/blog/myheritage-vs-andme-vs-ancestrydna.

Sadly, I can top this.  Just tried it with a photo of mom, quite a nice photo, taken with the webcam.  47% similar to Heath Ledger, 46% similar to Ariel Sharon, neither of which look much like each other, never mind ANY of the five matches being the right gender.  So, remind me of the purpose of biometrics...? ☺

The word “FAMILY” plays a vital role in every human life because family comes as a top priority; we are well aware of that. Like a tree has its root, stem, branches, leaf, flowers, the same as the family tree has its structure like grandparents, parents, child, and it keeps continuing from generation to generation. “Family tree,” yeah, just two simple words, but these two words are highly important for everyone’s life.
